Vitra - Soft Pad chair EA 222 lounge, polished - fabric Laser RE

Vitra - EA 222 Soft Pad Aluminum Lounge.

The lounge chair EA 222 from Vitra is thanks to the high backrest and the tilt mechanism
perfect for a relaxing evening at home.

The Vitra Soft Pad lounge chair EA 222 has many similarities with the well-known Aluminum Chair EA 124 and Vitra EA 125.

In appearance, it has the same lines, but the Soft Pad chair has, as the name suggests, a Soft Pad filling. This filling combined with the leather upholstery makes this chair extra comfortable. This thicker covering contrasts nicely with the aluminum frame.

For ultimate comfort, a matching footstool (Vitra EA 223) is also available.

About the designers:

Ray and Charles Eames were an American designer couple whose name is familiar to anyone interested in modern design. Charles Eames was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1907. He studied architecture at the University of Washington and, at the invitation of the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, continued his studies in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, Michigan.

There he met Eero Saarinen, with whom he took part in a competition called 'Organic Design in Home'. Furnishings”, organized by the MoMA in New York. Eames and Saarinen won the competition using a plywood molding technique originally developed by Alvar Aalto. It was also in Cranbrook that Charles Eames met her future wife Ray, and the couple married in 1941.
